Our Sunshine Boys: birthday present

Monday, August 25, 2008

Just for you Ms. Furious!

I have so slacked on my blogging because I've been messing around setting up wi-fi on my computer in order to use my birthday present from my family. I got an Ey-fi card for my camera and it is totally awesome. It uploads my pictures automatically to any online account I choose...ie. flickr, snapfish, costco etc. It took me a week to figure our how to hook up my router and wireless adapter. Yes...I'm computer clueless!

Anyways...anytime that I have spent on the computer is either on facebook or reading other people's blogs so I have fallen behind.

We had dinner with friends a couple of weeks ago and I have a funny video to post and cute pics

and

I went to PA to see my brother...lots of pics from that trip.

I thought of my blog-o-sphere friend...Ms. Furious and her fascination with the Amish.

Here are some photos for you-Ms. F.

I forgot my camera the day I took these....They aren't very good quality because I used my phone. I can't even believe I forgot my camera...I take my camera everywhere.

Maybe I'll catch up on my blogging soon. I'm always so tired after my kids go to bed.

About the boys

As of 3/31/08

Ryan is 4 1/2 years old. He is in preschool and loves every minute of it. He loves to color and he loves Larry Boy, the superhero from Veggie Tales.

Jack is almost 3 and he is the aggressive one. He likes to pick on his older brother. Even though he picks on Ryan, he likes to do whatever his big brother does.

Evan is 4 months old but is the size of an average newborn. He was born 9 weeks early. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and 12 1/2 inches long at birth.

All of the boys have had their medical issues.

Ryan was diagnosed at birth with hydrocephalus. He was shunted at 3 days old. That shunt failed at about a year old. That is when the docs performed a third ventriculostomy. That failed one month later and was redone. His last surgery was January 2009 when he was 5. He has MRI's annually to make sure the hydrocephalus is under control.

Jack was diagnosed at 3 months old with hydrocephalus. He was shunted immediately but that shunt failed at 7 months old. They performed a third ventriculostomy and he has not had another surgery since. He has MRI's once a year.

Evan was born Intrauterine Growth Restricted(IUGR). He was born at 31 weeks 3 days gestational age. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and he spent almost 2 months in the NICU.
